Prayer, Ardaas, an urge to almighty lord...the supreme one. Here i am sharing lyrics of a song from the Hindi film Do Ankhen Barah Haath (1957). Sung by Lata Mangeshkar. The lyrics are by Bharat Vyas. This song used to be my school prayers and i used to enjoy it really whole hearetdly sometimes with tears in my eyes, i dont know at that age i even realsied what exactly this prayers means but it was aWesoMe.. :) Gur Barr Akaal!
Oh Master, we are your servants May our actions be such That we walk in virtue, and shun wrong So that we laugh as life-breath leaves us.
Waheguru Jee! :)
"ae maalik tere bande hum aise ho humare karam nekee par chale, aur badee se taley, takey huste huey nikley dum
ye andheraa ghanaa chhaa rahaa, tera insaan ghabara rahaa ho rahaa bekhabar, kuch na aata nazar, sukh ka sooraj chupa ja rahaa hai teri roshni mein jo dum to amawas ko kar de poonam
bada kamzor hain aadmi, abhi laakhon hain is mein kamee par tu jo khadaa, hai dayalu bada, teri kirpa se dharti thami diya tune humey jab janam too hee jhelegaa hum sab ke ghum
jab zulmon ka ho saamnaa, tab tu hi humey thaamnaa voh burai karey, hum bhalai bharey, nahi badley ki ho kaamnaa badh uthey pyaar ka har kadam aur mitey bair ka ye bharam"
With arrival of 2010 the hot topic in this world today is 2012.... Well, my post is not regarding 2012 for world, but yeah, for Sikhism it is end for sure if we didnt get up nw even...
Sikhism, not a religion, but a way of life, a pathway of spirituality to attain salvation. Gur Barr Akaal _/\_ :)
Nothing personal in this post for anyone, this post of mine is truly based on general observations i have in past few years. This post is sort of a general observation of me in categorizing Sikh population based on the part of it i hav came across, assuming myself NOT WORTH at all.... This is just as per my observation so it may contradict to actual status or so, Excuse me for tht... Waheguru Jee!
Talking bout India only we knw Sikhs in India are just 2% of total population, so we can imagine very well the number...
Leaving aside the babas, priests n profesionals n NRI/foreigner sikhs aside if we consider common people contributing 100% of sikh population, out of which almost 40% are nw patits, the ppl frm sikh families r no more sikhs i.e. they cut hair or beard etc...n they hav no values of sikhism, likewise they even dont knw basics of sikhism, though its just fault of thr parents who didnt teach them at all. Anyways, lets say another 10% are of thots "Sikhi te dil ch hundi hai ji, ki karna kes rakh k ya paath kar k..." though they knw basics atleast.... Fine!!
Now ignoring above ppl, assuming remaining 50% to be important, with tag of being Amritdhaari, baptized, the blessed ones.. :)
I myself hav seen ppl partaking Amrit just to get social status, or can say show off types...so i can say it to be 10%, they dont bother bout anything else.
Moving forward another 5% do have values n they respect them but cudnt follow them as they dont mind going off track occasionally... for example; consuming alcohol occasionally, likewise i got to knw bout this frm one of my frnd last evening, though i myself hav seen a renouned raagi singh sitting in hotel Leela,Mumbai few years back with his family consuming CHAMPAIGN (sorry if i didnt spell it correct), i was so shocked to see tht scene, but i thot he is professional but my frnds statement last day shooked me off... Akaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll
Then another 5% do hav values n they even dont anything wrong but they go stereo types, likewise they dont go to depth of any concept, they dont go for reasoning, they just follow code of conduct as it is, but they dont knw its meaning n importance.
Rest 30% are true at values n code of conduct. BUT in among these 30% there r almost 15% who call themselves to be different frm all, so on such platforms they start discriminations in many forms which is against humanity, where sikhism means humanity n equality of all.. in itself.
May be 10% or so get involved with non sikhs in terms of relation, love, n marriages etc. so sooner or later they lose thr identity in terms of values for one reason or another and they left with no option other than compromise on such grounds. The irony is i came across majority of sikh Kaur girls getting into hindu guys making excuse tht she didnt get any gursikh guy for tht....lol... :p as if thr is no gursikh guy left on this whole earth.... Wahgeuru!! Satt bachan .. :D Height of cheating one ownself.. Pheww! :p The starnge thing is such ppl knw tht they r doing wrong in thr concious still they love to carry it on... dnt knw what does tht meeeaaaaannnnnn!! :-/
Then left are just 5%...who we can call as true ones who are more spiritual than being religious, better to call them true humans, which is the important thing than matters being a Sikh but WHERE ARE THEY? Infact i guess sooner or later they too get frustrated finding themselves all alone on this path coz of IDENTITY CRISIS.. Waheguru!
Where is our Sikhism heading to? Bigger question is whr i shud move to?? Though i m worst of the worsts.... May be i m sounding like an emotional loser but i guess i m thinking a bit practically, as i m not sure bout world but if this continues to be like this then this spirits will surely end by 2012....
I m just a learner, a beginner trying to explore concepts frm its roots. No other intention of this post. I m extremely sorry if anybdy got hurted with my this post but no such intentions. Need wishes of u all to be in high spirits.
As per my view, Khalsa is not a sect, community or any religion, it is a thought, or being precise it is state of mind, in which one gets pure thoughts of high spirits, may it be professional, spiritual or regarding anything. So, i feel Khalsa is not just anyone from Sikh religion, it is everyone with high spirits n pure thoughts for benefit of all i.e. sarbat da bhalla..
So, Khalse de Janam din di sab nu bohat bohat Vadhai hove jiyo... :) May Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Jee Maharaj bless us all with the spirit to fight with evils n Negetive thoughts inside us resulting in pure mind n life style....
Hey Guys n Gals...Weneva some problem comes in our lyf we often feel as if we r the most inferior ones, as if the almighty dont love us at all. Infact, some thinks the almighty cant see us happy for 2mins even.... Waheguru :)...
I dont hav any words to say coz i m also one of these ppl... lol.. But yeah, i m sharing something frm Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee Maharaj... versed by Guru Nanak... :)
Hope we can understand a bit of it... I hav no intentions to hurt anyone, as one's problem is felt by him/herself only, no one else can hav idea even......Gur Barr Akaal :)
